Meet the brother & sister team behind Bar Down Cookies

Who We Are

Our Why.

Growing up, we were very lucky to have an athletic childhood. Now that we are older, we can see the positive impacts that being involved with sports had on us. We wanted to find a way to support local children and youth with getting the chance to participate in sports.

While not every family can afford to register their children in sports due to financial barriers, we believe every kid deserves the chance to be a part of a team, have people cheer for them and score the game-winning goal.

Meet the Brother & Sister Team

We grew up as best friends and had always aspired to own a business together. When I (Kayla) moved home from university for the summer in 2023, we decided that there was no better time than the present to pursue our dreams.

We are the hard-working team of two that develops recipes, bakes, delivers, creates a fun atmosphere at our market booth and so much more! Each aspect of our job is unique and we love each and every one of them.

It is a true honour to bake for you and we can’t wait to bake your next box of brookies for you to enjoy.

Baked with care from our family, to yours.


  • Founder & Co-owner

    After focusing on track & field, Kayla ran for the Langley Mustangs for many years and held the record for the 400m sprint for her age division. While she no longer runs competitively, she enjoys playing soccer and running with friends.

    Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree at the University of British Columbia, Kayla aspires to have a career in the mental health sector. If you have met her at markets then you already know that Kayla is a bubbly, positive and enthusiastic individual.


  • Co-owner

    After exploring a variety of sports, Brayden settled on hockey as his sport of choice. He currently plays for the Cloverdale Colts as well as a recreational adult team.

    When he is not baking or developing a new flavour, Brayden can be found working on restoring his and his friend’s classic cars, spending time with friends and getting active.

    Brayden does a lot of the behind-the-scenes work, so if you see him at a market, make sure to say hi!
